Why Bet The Knicks:
✅ The Hawks are set to be without De’Andre Hunter and John Collins for this game. While the attention will be on Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, Hunter and Collins combined for 33 points and 16 rebounds in their first meeting with the Knicks this season. Their absences will be significant.
✅ It is worth noting that the Knicks had a 20-point lead against the Hawks in their first meeting this season, before Dejounte Murray went nuclear on them in the second and third quarters. Here, the Knicks will hold onto a lead and pick up a much-needed win.
✅ The Hawks have a losing record on the road this season, going just 5-6 away from Atlanta.

Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are coming off of a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. They, like so many teams in the NBA today, could not stop Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in that matchup. Here, the Hawks could have an easier day defensively against an offensively inconsistent Knicks squad. But injuries could be a factor once again for Atlanta.
Without De’Andre Hunter and John Collins, someone will need to step up as the third scorer behind Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Clint Capela is typically a threat around the rim, but the Knicks athletic bigs could limit him somewhat. That could mean Aaron or Justin Holiday needing to step up in a big way here.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks got a win in their last game, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Sunday. They played exceptionally on the defensive end in that game, limiting the Cavs to just 81 points in the victory. Now New York will have to defend someone they have had trouble defending over the last couple of years in Trae Young.
In this game, the key to this game is simply defending Atlanta’s guards if you are the Knicks. Murray and Young have proven to be a lethal combination against New York already. If Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Knicks backcourt cannot limit them in some way, the Knicks could lose this game even though the Hawks are incredibly banged up.
